Drug Crime Penalties

I understand the seriousness of the drug charges you're facing. Depending on the offense, you could be sentenced to a number of adverse legal penalties upon conviction. For misdemeanor drug crimes, such as simple possession of marijuana, you will most likely only be sentenced to probation and be required to pay fine and attend a drug treatment program. However, if you are convicted on felony drug charges you will face much more severe penalties, such as lengthy jail or prison sentences, probation, steep fines, mandatory drug treatment, community service, driver’s license suspension, and a mark on your permanent record.
